Metal Rabbit Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 im talking about the topics that pop up all the time in the general forum such as "what are you eating?" I feel that those topics don't belong there, and that polls like that should be in a sub forum in the introduction forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serene Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 what topics have I made that I should close? I was just saying for future event's that anyone who has the option to close their own topic's should if it's not useful anymore, or other reasons that I can't think off Also I forgot that you were a Royal when I wrote that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The "What Are You Listening Too" topic as well. I was hoping I wasn't the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 there's no need to close them, if we could just move them then that'd be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serene Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 there's no need to close them, if we could just move them then that'd be fine. damn you took my idea Why not post and pin them in FFtF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Cuz then there'd be 50 pinned topics. And if they're just moved to FFtF then they'll be buried and forgotten forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 If they're crazy, move them to the craziness section. If staff really feel they shouldn't fall under the rest of the craziness, create a sub-forum for polls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Rabbit Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 It may as well be. Nothing goes on there except spam and "hello". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrach Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It may as well be. Nothing goes on there except spam and "hello". Spam isn't supposed to be there though. If you're going to create a subforum for polls, it should be in FFtF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Not all of them are "polls". They're mostly intro topics. If you look at the "profile" topics in that forum then they'd belong there too. Besides, the fact that you don't gain post count there pretty much gives incentive to spam it. And believe me, people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 It may as well be. Nothing goes on there except spam and "hello". I believe part of your job is taking care of messes like that, though. Not encourage it through allowing even more >.> There's is a reason every post is "Hello." It's the Introductions board D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Quite frankly it's pointless to me to bother with that forum because noone takes it seriously. Now if you could gain posts from it or we made a sub-forum then yeah I'd be inclined to moderate spammers there. (hint hint vincent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 But what to generic, off-the-wall polls have to do with the Introduction forums? If any sub-forum should have the polls, it should be in the general section, or in the craziness section. And even then, at the quality of the polls, they don't really deserve to be in a serious portion of the board :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 One point I'm trying to focus on is that they belong there because those profile topics belong there, but they don't necesarily need to be jumbled with the hello topics. If anything it should be named "profile" or something... Another point is that Introductions is not taken seriously at all. I'd like to fix that.

Celice Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Numerous polls such as condiments, weather, favorites, should remain in a poll section away from profiles--the answers can be placed in the profiles, but the polls belong somewhere else. Also, introductions aren't supposed to be a place to be taken seriously. It and the craziness section are usually the only places spam should be tolerated. You keep talking about clearing up things which don't belong, and taking care of spam. Reordering the forums doesn't fix that: doing your job does.
